Sales of the new P30 series have also been strong with 10 million units sold in 85 days after its launch.

That’s 62 days less than that for P20 series to hit the same target.

With all the drama surrounding the brand, this news may come as surprise but consumers clearly like what Huawei is making.

Speaking about the news, Anson Zhang, Managing Director of Huawei Consumer Business Group UK, said “We will always put our consumers first, regardless of the challenges we face and this announcement demonstrates the continued confidence in Huawei from customers and partners.

“We also have a responsibility to make it clear to consumers that nothing has changed and we are confident about the future, and will always ensure our consumers enjoy the best possible experience on their Huawei devices.

“We are grateful to our millions of loyal consumers in the UK – and we will soon welcome millions more.”
